This was a dated but fascinating perspective on women's lives in Saudi Arabia half a century ago. If you've ever lived abroad for an extended amount of time, the cultural assimilation and exhaustion is familiar to read about. The norms of raising children in a royal Saudi Arabian household were interesting to learn and perhaps Buschow should have been more delicate in navigating those differences. However, the ending is tragic and reveals the narrow options available to women, how quickly the cultural hegemony can supercede family bonds.

Een waargebeurd verhaal dat ongetwijfeld het vertellen waard is. Zeker in zijn tijd (jaren '80) waarin er hier over't algemeen weinig geweten was over het leven in landen als Saoedi Arabië.
De schrijfstijl lag me echter niet waardoor ik geen connectie vond met de personages en het verhaal me niet echt kon boeien.

Waargebeurd maar vond het boek geen echte hoogvlieger.
Kon het gemakkelijk aan de kant leggen.
